Abstract
Internet users communicate with each other in various ways: by Emails,
instant messaging, social networking, accessing Web sites, etc. In the
course of communicating, users may unintentionally copy files
contaminated with computer viruses and worms [1, 2] to their computers
and spread them to other users [3]. (Hereafter we will use the term
"threats", rather than computer viruses and computer worms). The
Internet is the chief source of these threats [4].
